  • The Cromite GitHub page also says it supports arm32-v7a right at the beginning (for some reason later in the README it lists the platforms again without it, someone probably forgot to change it), I believe it’s the file in the releases called arm_ChromePublic.apk (not arm64), so try that

    (Note: it does say it’s Android 7 or higher though, so it still might not work unless you try some custom ROMs)










  • XMPP is a protocol for decentralised chats, allowing people registered on different servers to chat with people on other servers, kind of similar to how email works (and Lemmy of course).

    Google Talk was a service by Google which started with XMPP support, letting users from other XMPP servers chat with Google Talk users. Google Talk was always slightly different from the XMPP standard, due to having proprietary code in its backend, leading to chats between Talk users working flawlessly but not between XMPP and Talk users. Slowly, Google Talk became more popular than the other servers.

    Eventually, XMPP server-to-server support was removed as part of their transition to Hangouts, meaning once Talk users switched to it, XMPP users would no longer be able to chat with them and would have to switch to Hangouts. While XMPP still exists today, it’s definitely a niche nowadays, and this is part of the reason.
